He was facing the wrong way in a battle. That’s enough for me.

John Walker Lindh's lawyers and parents appealed to President Bush for the fourth time Tuesday...

You'd think they'd get the picture.

I think part of their problem is that they have NEVER gotten ANY of the picture.

I know exactly what they’re doing. The traitor’s parents know that President Bush isn’t going to commute his sentence or give him a pardon. They’re just setting the stage in hopes that a Rat is elected next year and will grant clemency to show how compassionate he/she is and how horrible Bush is.

“He is a traitor who should have been hanged”.
Or tied to a post and shot.

This spoiled little punk took arms against American troops. He’s a traitor and should have been shot by a firing squad

This pretty boy is doing just great in prison and will come out gayer than his dad

Holy God, I didn’t know that. How did this guy get away with his skin intact (i.e. without being hanged)?!

Stupid stinkin' hippies!
Of course he's a terrorist and lucky to be alive at all.

If he walks like a duck...

It creeped me out when I heard his voice. He was asked something about waging Jihad—”That’s the dddrream of every Mussslim.” With an Arabian accent. Creepy. What, other than a deep psychological derangement (technical term: screw loose), would make a kid from California start speaking his native language with an Arabian accent?

He was directly responsible, on multiple occasions, for the murder of Americans, Spann and others.

It strikes me that none of us has paid sufficient attention to this paragraph from the article:

Attorney James Brosnahan noted that Yasir Hamdi, a U.S. citizen who was captured at the same time with the same Taliban forces as Lindh, was released to Saudi Arabia without criminal charges in 2004 after spending three years at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

I would support him spending some time in Guantanamo among his fellows and then being deported to Saudi Arabia. Let him go live in the ideologically pure Islamic state that his heart desires.

They need to ask Jimmy Carter and Ramsey Clark to intercede with GWB.

We all need the laughs.

I believe Yasi Hamdi was born in the U.S. to Saudi parents and raised in Saudi Arabia. So they just sent that birthright citizenship turd back to his real home. I don’t have a problem with Lindh serving his ENTIRE sentence and then being sent to Saudi Arabia, but I don’t think his parents would let him go. If I were in charge, part of his punishment would be to read and reread, over and over, Edward Everett Hale’s “The Man Without a Country.”

You’re right about Hamdi.

Lindh has 11 years left on his sentence. He has already served time at the max. security prison. If his parents want a result similar to that of Hamdi, I support that choice. Hamdi and his family do not live in the United States. Walker Lindh shouldn’t live in the US. His family ought to be able to go visit him in Saudi Arabia or to move there.

His father would never go. Islam is not kind to homosexuals.

I say draft him to make pro-American propaganda radio messages to our enemies. They say he as great Arabic Language skills—our foes mght believe him as an ex-follower of Osama. Let him work his way out of jail by helpping the country he turned his back on. If he doesn’t want to help—let him rot.

Release him, with much fanfare, on the parade field of Ft Brag.

Or hang him.

Uh, hang on. He joined before 9-11 didn’t he?


And after the first WTC bombings. Remember the one during the 90s?
